10News was first to report on Lennox's injuries and his recovery at Rady Children's Hospital. Swelling from head injuries prevented the 6-year-old from opening his eyes, until now. His dad told 10News that not being able to see was one of the hardest parts for his son after the accident.
Meanwhile, the suspected driver - Constantino Banda - pleaded not guilty in court Wednesday. Banda is charged with DUI, hit-and-run, and driving without a license. 10News found out that he's been deported at least 15 times, according to federal authorities.

Witnesses at a restaurant where Banda and a friend were seen before the crash say that Banda may have not been behind the wheel. He and a friend were both in the car when police arrested. It is still not clear who was driving.
